Chapter 1726: The Auction Begins
"This... This is really an Invisible Spirit Herb!"
The fat man was extremely upset by the mistake he made. He even thought of snatching back the herb by force. However, he remembered that Chen Xiaobei announced to everyone that he had just bought himself a piece of treasure and the two soldiers who witnessed the whole thing as well. He would be doomed if he dared to attack Chen Xiaobei. Rendered with no other options, the fat man had to accept the fact that Chen Xiaobei had just purchased a Three-star Earth-God item with only 100 low-grade Spiritual Stones. The evil businessman finally got what he deserved.
Blargghh...
Having a hard time accepting the fact that he had just lost a great deal of fortune, the fat man coughed out a mouthful of warm blood. He then sat on the floor with all his strength drained. As for the crowd, all of them could feel the tight slap that Chen Xiaobei had just landed on them. Everyone knew that using 100 low-grade Spiritual Stones to purchase a Six Flavored Yellow Earth Herb was extremely expensive! As for an Invisible Spirit Herb, one might not even be able to purchase it with ten billion low-grade Spiritual Stones!
A few minutes ago, everyone was still laughing at Chen Xiaobei being impotent. Now, they finally realized that Chen Xiaobei was the smartest amongst all of them.
"Zhufeng, I'm so sorry... I have misunderstood you! And, thank you for bringing justice to me!" said Ling Qingfeng with her lips pursed.
"You and I are brothers. You are most welcome!" said Chen Xiaobei with his shoulders shrugged.
"Are you supposed to looking for the Giant Barbaric Tiger? Why are you here?" asked Ling Qingfeng.
"Let's walk and talk at the same time. I have captured a Giant Barbaric Tiger and I got something good along the way as well! However, I don't think I will use it in the future. That's why I'm here to sell it in the auction."
"How... How is that even possible? The time given to complete the task is one month! And you have just completed it within ten days! This is truly awesome if this is not a joke!"
"To me, that's normal. Nothing special about it. Tell me about you. Why are you here?"
"Are you blind? I'm here to help you to look for the things that you want on your list!"
"Of course I know that you're trying to help me! What I'm trying to say is that... don't you want to marry Princess Puti? You are wasting your time by helping me to look for the things that I want."
"Of course I still want to marry Princess Puti but there is nothing I can do about it right now. Recently, The Divine Dragon's royal family has something important to deal with. All the elites and Earth-God Instruments are with them right now! Without their help, there's no way that I can kill the tiger alone! That's why I've decided that I will concede in this round and help you to look for the things that you want!"
"I see now. Thank you so much for keeping your promise! I'm eternally grateful that you are looking for the things that I want when something critical is happening in your starfield at the same time!"
"Unfortunately, I didn't manage to look for a single item even though I have stayed here for ten days... and, you have just crossed one item off your list during your first day here! In other words, my help is fruitless!"
"Who told you that your help is fruitless? If you didn't argue with that fat man, I would have walked to the other side and I wouldn't have been able to spot the herb! This is all fate! Also, your sincerity is priceless! No matter how this ends, I will always remember what you've done for me!"
"Psst! Alright, you can stop there! If you are a true man, just mark it down in your heart. You don't have to say it out loud!"
"Right! It's all here now! By the way, you can call me if you need any help later!"
Chen Xiaobei pointed at his heart and replied.
"Will do!"
Ring!
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei's cellphone rang.
"Master! The auction matter is settled!" said Wugui Kochiro.
"So fast?"
"I have managed to locate Manager Wang! The auction will be held in approximately an hour's time! One-star Earth-God items are rare in this upcoming auction and the item that we have put up is considered ultra-rare! That's why Manager Wang instantly included us in the auction! Master, now that I'm looking at the time, I think you can come over right now. I will be waiting for you at the entrance!"
"Okay. I won't be a minute!"
After that, Chen Xiaobei hung up the call.
"Where are you going?" asked Ling Qingfeng.
"I'm going to attend an auction. By the way, how's the relationship between Divine Dragon Starfield and Tenshou Starfield?"
"Tenshou? Normal I guess. There is no conflict between us and none of us have to do each other any good as well."
"It's nice to hear that there are no conflicts. Do you want to come with me to the auction?"
"What do you mean by that? The person who just called you is someone from Tenshou Starfield?"
"I'm not going to lie to you since you are my brother! The one that called me just now is the prince of Tenshou Starfield, Wugui Kochiro!"
"What?! Chen Zhufeng! What the hell are you doing? You want to marry Princess Puti but at the same time, you are mingling with someone from Tenshou! Are you a spy from Tenshou Starfield?"
"It's hard to explain the whole thing to you right now! All I can tell you right now is that I'm siding with Saint Duke Starfield! Everything that I can do is for Puti!"
"It's really hard for me to believe you!"
"It's normal that you don't believe me! Just follow me to the auction now. You will believe everything I've told you when you see the item that I put up for auction!"
"What can you prove with the item that you are auctioning off?"
Chen Xiaobei did not reply to her after that.
...
At Scarlet Moon Auction Center.
Wugui Kochiro was waiting for Chen Xiaobei at the entrance. He then led Chen Xiaobei and Ling Qingfeng to enter the place with a path for VIP. The auction was being held on the second floor and they were arranged to be seated on the VIP seats.
